We did have fun, and then sat at the lake (that runs through the mall) and watched drunk people on gondalas, and watched the sun set. I took some pics, I'll post when I get home.

I HEAR A COUNTDOWN. Let me know when it's 100% official so I can book tickets. Oh, and let us know dates we're suppose to come for.

when did you do that? I'm confused. did i miss a post??

I will make it official once I sign the contract with the venue and the church and my future brother in law aka best man aka college proffesor says that he will be free on May 15th. For right now it's up in the air on whether it's gonna be May 15th or late April because both venues i like are both booked on the following Saturday in May.

Happy belated Laura, I thought of you yesterday when dating files!!! Hope you had a great one! And that the love is as strong as it was 2 years ago!

Happy, Happy, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHELLE!!! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Back to the inlaws for Rick to finish their car. Thinking I will take him something to eat as a hint to them that they could have at least fed him.....grrrrrr.

I am hovering between 1.5 and 2 pounds towards my 5 for the month. I might make it.....we'll see!!!

BBL Oh yeah I am on vacation next week, Dr is going to be in Nigeria.....

Back from our shift at the hospital and it was kind of a slow night. So we got to leave a little early. While we were there one of the regular girls is on vacation and so they brought in the part time lady. She put in her notice and will be quiting in the next 2 weeks. So the supervisor was in the dept. and they were going over the schedule and talking about hiring someone to take the place of the girl leaving. Well, you guessed it. She asked me if I would be interested in the job and she was serious about it. I laughed at first till I realized that she meant it. Hubby wasn't in the room when all of this was going on and all I could think of is that he's just going to $#%& his pants. And he just about did. After the shock of it he asked me what I thought. I have a lot to think about. Alot to think about.

Michelle, I hope you had a wonderful day.

Good evening, Violets.

Had a pretty good day today. I didn't sing for the chapel service, but did for the special occasion at the Library. My voice came out as a bass..... no NOT the fish..... but everyone seemed to like it and that's what counts.

I'm going to head to bed early again tonight and see if I can get a better night's sleep. I couldn't stop coughing last night. Ethan comes at noon and my swimming pool is FIXED and heated to 86 so we'll be doing some swimming!! I've missed doing my Water exercises.

Michelle.. I hope you had a wonderful birthday, Roomie!!

Suzie... another Violet with a new job?! Is it something that you enjoy doing? Can you still do your Curves job? Sorry the Tigers beat your guys again.

Haydee, I've been looking at wedding dresses online. Makes me think back to when Kris got her dress. We found it online and she loved it. It only had to have a minor alteration. We got a lot of her things online and that was the joke during the wedding ceremony. Bob asked her where she got her dress.. online, where did you get your gloves?... online.. where did you get your flowers?.... online.. and where did you get Nathan?? hahaha

I see that Heather posted some pictures on Facebook. Sure wish she'd post in here again. I don't know if she received the gifts I sent her. No word from her at all. ;o((

Just got a call from Joe and Ethan comes at 8 instead of noon, so I better head to bed and try and get some sleep. Coughing kept me from a good night's sleep last night plus the fact that I was worried I wouldn't be able to sing today. I had thought I'd have to read the words while the music played, but luckily I had enough voice to pull it off.

Everyone have a good evening. Sleep well.

I got almost everything online for my wedding too. The jewelry, shoes, tiara, lingerie, candles, tux, etc... I was going to get my dress online (oh man I was so in love, if I can find it again I'll show you Haydee.. it had long bell sleeves, ivory, and looked renaissancey but also looked hella expensive, whatever designer it is we don't have here!!) till we swapped to a last minute wedding, then I had to get what was on the rack at David's Bridal, and I was a bit bummed because I was post-surgery by a few months and had hoped to miraculously NOT be in a size 26 at my wedding.. oh well.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
